ALBAUGH IS NATIONAL TOP FIVE FINALIST
For Immediate Release- On Saturday, July 7, 2007, Richmond teen Amy Albaugh added another achievement to her resume. Albaugh’s latest success occurred when she advanced out of her spot as a top ten semifinalist and placed 3rd runner up at the national Miss Teen America pageant in Nashville, TN.
Albaugh won the title of Miss Kentucky Teen America in January, which qualified her to compete at the national pageant. With the honor of being named to the national Queen’s court also came a $1000 cash scholarship, crystal medallion and award, and numerous other prizes.
During the eight day competition each of the contestants competed in the areas of interview, talent or spokes model, fitness in swimsuit, eveningwear, public service announcement, and modeling. The top ten semifinalists were chosen based on the highest cumulative scores from these events. These ten contestants then competed again in swimwear, talent, and on stage interview.
While the week was full of grueling competition, there was still time for fun. The contestants made appearances across Nashville including at locations such as Nashville Shores, Opry Mills Mall, the Wildhorse Saloon, and a Nashville Sounds Baseball game.
Contestants were asked to select an issue of concern that they would choose to dedicate their time to through community service. As an active volunteer for numerous organizations within the community Albaugh chose to promote volunteer service as a whole through her platform, “Volunteering; A Rewarding Way of Life!”
For her talent Albaugh performed an original Acrobatic Jazz Dance to “Walking on Sunshine!”
The top five spots were awarded as follows: 4th runner up- Tesia Worley, Hawaii; 3rd runner up- Amy Albaugh, Kentucky; 2nd runner up- Amanda Alicea, New York; 1st runner up- Katie O’Shea, Georgia; 2007 Miss Teen America- Brittany Brannon; Arizona.
Albaugh is the 18 year old daughter of Rich and Donna Albaugh of Richmond and began competing in pageants at age ten. She is a 2007 graduate of Model High School and will attend Eastern Kentucky University this fall where she will be a member of the Cheerleading squad.
Albaugh will spend the rest of her year as Miss Kentucky Teen America making appearances across Kentucky. She will also volunteer and work with community service projects in the Central Kentucky area.
